• MiT-Bite attracts leaflets by applying negative suction
  • The vacuum attracts the leaflets towards the grasping system
  • Suction is operated ‘ECG gated’ (operates at the beginning of the systole)
  • MiT-Bite has two ‘bites’ components (superior and inferior) that optimizes the leaflets grasping
  • The system is reversible if the initial grasping not optimal
  • The ‘bite’ (or clip) released is not rigid, that will allow still natural leaflets motion
  • MiT-Bite can be used for both primary and secondary mitral regurgitation
  • The suction may provide better grasping performance in case of prolapse and flail than the available competitors (e.g MITRACLIP/PASCAL)
  • The system MiT-Bite is leaflet-extension ready
  • It can be used for the tricuspid valve
  • MiT-Bite can be also used during open chest surgery (e.g. off-pump CABG and mitral repair) or during minimally invasive
